A woman seeking vengeance
A detective chasing truth
Death and secrets of the past following their every step


1920s, Prague
Milana has lost her home twice. The first time, when she was forced by her husband to leave St. Petersburg. The second, when the last shards of fragile affection between them died in their exile. Slowly suffocated by his obsession to become a grand author, his extremist associates, and his abuse, no day passes without thoughts of escape.

Finally, the chance is presented to her.  But in a horrible way: When Milana's best friend and lover, Jasna, is found murdered, she learns the one investigating is none other than Matěj Graf-nothing more than a faint memory of secret notes exchanged through a copy of "Anna Karenina" until one day ago. But now, he is back in her life, and Milana might hold the key to the only case he cannot solve. And other than their favorite novel's heroine, Milana is determined to break free alive.

I was never meant to fall for her, and I didn't-I became obsessed. She was the daughter of my father's enemy - a girl born into the wrong bloodline, hidden beneath a name that never should've been hers. That night, I found more than just a face. I found lies. Secrets. A mystery the world wasn't supposed to uncover. So I did what I do best. I watched. I followed. I tore through every piece of her past until I knew her better than she knew herself. And on her eighteenth birthday, I came back to take what I'd been waiting for. Hours before I touched her, my father was announced dead. Every shred of evidence pointed to her bloodline - to the man who raised her. Her father. But, his presence at her birthday party only deepened the mystery and I was driven to uncover the truth. In the name of love, I made her cross lines she never imagined. I twisted her desires. Broke her limits. Pushed her into a world she didn't ask to enter. And now that she's here, I'll burn down everything that tries to take her away. The deeper I drag her into my darkness, the more I realize I'm not the only one watching. There are others-lurking behind masks, hidden in shadows, waiting for their moment. Maybe it was never just my story. Maybe I was just the beginning. I forced her to make choices no one should ever face. And she followed-blindly, breathlessly-because in her world, I became the only thing that felt real. But nothing here is real. Not love. Not loyalty. Not even the family you were born into. Everything is twisted. Everything is a lie. And in a world where masks are worn better than truth, you can't trust anyone-not even your own self. She thought this story began with me. But what she doesn't know is that she's the one at the center of it all. This isn't just an obsession. This is a war. And she's the one everyone wants to destroy. And I am Zayn Rev Vincent. Her monster who's going to protect her-even if I'm the most dangerous thing she'll ever need protection from.

The Paleys (1925-1928) - An Alternate Romanov Story by saraamarques

In the summer of 1925, all of Russia turns its eyes to the coronation of Alexei II, a dazzling spectacle meant to reaffirm the strength of the monarchy. But beneath the splendour, a sinister plot is brewing in the shadows-a conspiracy within the Ballet Russes, where Bolshevik sympathizers conspire to strike at the very heart of the empire. As the grand event draws near, more and more people seem determined to make the new reign a short one. While the empire stands on the edge of peril, Princess Natalia Paley becomes ensnared in a dangerous fascination with Serge Lifar, a brilliant but subversive dancer with ties to the conspiracy. What begins as admiration soon turns into something far more reckless-a betrayal that could not only cost Natalia her friendship with Alexei but put the entire monarchy at risk. Meanwhile, Vladimir and Tata struggle to make it to the altar as their love is tested by endless delays and the meddling of Tata's formidable mother, Countess Brassova. As tensions rise and secrets from the past come to light, they are forced to confront whether their relationship can survive the forces working against them. For Irina and Feodor, the weight of responsibility as Viceroys of the Caucasus has cast yet another shadow over their once-passionate marriage. Irina, struggling with the demands of motherhood and her new life, throws herself into an ambitious project to improve the lives of those under her care-an endeavour that will challenge her in ways she never expected.
